Conservative Dossier Alleges ‘Homelessness Industrial Complex,’ Urges Tighter Federal Scrutiny

The study asserts that billions in taxpayer grants flow to advocacy networks rather than direct services.

Overview

  • Capital Research Center, with the Discovery Institute, released a 113-page report titled “Infiltrated” alleging a coordinated network of homelessness nonprofits advancing left-wing political activism.
  • The report centers on 759 organizations that filed amicus briefs in Grants Pass v. Johnson and says they collectively reported $9.1 billion in revenue with at least $2.9 billion from government grants.
  • Cited examples include the National Harm Reduction Coalition, which the report says received 73% of its 2022 revenue from government grants, and groups like WRAP, Kairos Center, and the Poverty & Race Research Action Council.
  • Authors argue these networks oppose enforcement measures, promote housing-first and harm-reduction approaches, and “demonize” policies linked to public order, contrasting with President Trump’s July order emphasizing enforcement and institutional treatment.
  • The Daily Caller reports, citing unnamed sources, that the dossier was presented to President Trump as CRC and allies press for funding cuts and stepped-up oversight of targeted nonprofits.
